Twice we were awarded free kicks around defensive 50, with the dogs player holding the ball far too long, allowing all their players to get back. Both should've been 50 metre penalties, yet neither was paid.

I thought the whole point of the 50 metre penalty was to prevent players from slowing play down. If channel 7 wants more goals they should be into the AFL to get these things right, not fixing the draw.

What's he got to complain about? He gets kissed on the dick down Kardinia Park.

Funny you should mention that. He was also asked whether or not sides in Perth, Adelaide and Geelong get a home ground advantage with the umpires, his response was definitely yes and that when you have a large proportion of the crowd cheering for one side it influences decisions.

Any other player in the comp though and that would of been paid as deliberate :)

Is this the turning point for the year? MFC loves umpires and vice versa?

And when you consider they let in 12 supporters from other clubs to watch matches down there.

Was there any perceptible evenness afterwards or did we just run away with it then?

It shows how petrified players have become about idiotic decisions by umpires that Gus has said:

"It's funny. People might not believe it, but I didn't intentionally kick it out of bounds," Brayshaw told AFL.com.au.

when it was so obviously not a skill error but a titanic skill disaster.

By umpiring standards I didn't think they did a bad job yesterday. It is the port game that gets up my youknowwhat where they cost us the game. And on the harmes handball at the start of the game I thaught the umpires got it right. He was too far out and it was deliberate. Closer to goal it isn't a problem.

I did read in breakdown of free kicks given to all teams ....Melb received the most goals from frees in their forward 50...(courtesy ofHerald Sun)

Thanks to Deestar9. We will have to find a new conspiracy theory.

I thought that was the right call. Brayshaw was going to kick and then pulled out of it but it was too late.

Razor won't be washing his hand for a month.

One of the funniest things that I have seen during a game.??

I liked it just because of how much it wound up the Dogs’ box ?

Very much so.

You could tell how chuffed the Raz was. I reckon he's following Gus around everywhere now, Cable Guy style.

The razer/Gus low five was an uplifting Footy Moment where our great game displayed its real values. Two participants recognising and acknowledging the lighter side of the game.

There should be more.

Wrong ump, all the maggots look the same anyway.

Could not believe that Pannell maggot umpired our game tonight after spending time down at Geelong training during the week.

The AFL is so poorly run it is scary

Just an observation, I am not blaming umpires for our loss tonight -  thats squarely on the shoulders of our spineless team.

No he did last night.

In answer to my own question the answer is NO. We proved tonight all things being equal we will have no trouble beating cats in future.

Another disgraceful performance tonight from the maggots. That's what bringing down the maggots to training does for you, along with abusing the crap out of them after the game by a sooky coach in an aging team of wingers. Other than that, a very entertaining spectacle.

Umps didnt lose it for us vs Geelong. We had out chances to seal it late in the 4th

What!!!????

What about the mysterious ruck free to Hawkins for a goal, the chopped arms ( still a mark ) to TMac dead in front, and the 50 against Harmes as he desperately tried to get away, resulting in a goal???

Also there was a trip by a Geelong player diving on the ball, also dead in front.

We were lucky on one occasion when Jetta interfered running back with the flight, though he tried to watch the ball.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
